“I go here for the custard French toast, it is an absolute hidden gem on the menu.They also have a habit of hiring extremely cute girls to work the front which always helps ?The Pollo guisado is always a good safe bet for me and I prefer it to any other in this part of town. Not a fancy place or a 5 star restaurant, just a very good place to eat for locals in a chill atmosphere”

Hot fish 450 Hackensack Ave #6, Hackensack Szechuan • $$
450 Hackensack Ave #6, Hackensack

“Went here for a family special event and it was delicious. As a vegetarian, there weren't too too many veggie friendly dishes but there was mapo tofu (specifically requested) without meat. I've eaten a lot of mapo tofu and this was the best I think I've ever had - such amazing szechuan pepper flavor. Would go back just for that. Everyone enjoyed their dishes and the little yogurt drinks they offered at the end of the meal were a hit. Would definitely go back and would definitely get the mapo tofu.Vegetarian options: Honestly, if you don't like szechuan style food this probably isn't the restaurant for you. If you do and you're a vegetarian you're probably very familiar with mapo tofu. If that's the case then you won't be disappointed. There are at least a couple more menu items that are/can be veggie but the mapo tofu alone will make it worth a trip.Parking: Across from a home depot = a big parking lot”

Friends of the Chef 150 Florence Avenue, Hawthorne Latin American • $$
150 Florence Avenue, Hawthorne

“Oh boy, hold onto your forks, folks, because I just had the most mind-boggling experience with the Friends Of The Chef weight loss meal prep program! I mean, seriously, my taste buds are in shock while my scale did a whole celebration.First off, let's talk about the weight loss wizardry that happened here. I signed up for delivery on Friday for Sunday, started chowing down on these remixes of my childhood favorites, and BAM! In just four days, I've dropped 4.4 lbs.! I'm over here calculating whether I've actually lost weight or my bathroom scale is just pranking me. Is this sorcery or just some culinary version of a magic show?Now, let's chat about these remixes, shall we? It's like the chef took my beloved comfort foods from back in the day and gave them a snazzy makeover. I'm talking about food glow-ups that would make Cinderella jealous. Tres golpes? Transformed into a low-calorie sensation that tastes like a symphony of flavor explosions. La bandera? It's like the chicken went to culinary school and graduated with honors in being healthier but still lip-smackingly delicious.And the taste, oh dear taste buds, they're doing a conga line of joy! It's like a flavor party in my mouth and everyone's invited. I'm tempted to put on some dancing shoes and do the cha-cha just to express my taste bud's enthusiasm. The taste is so spot-on, I'm half-convinced my abuela must've been secretly hired as a consultant because it's like a teleportation device to my childhood dinner table. It's like they bottled up the nostalgia and sprinkled it on every dish. Seriously, if a meal can induce time-travel-like nostalgia, this is it.But wait, there's more! I'm practically counting the seconds till I can place my order for next week's meals. I'm on the edge of my seat like it's a cliffhanger episode of my favorite TV show. Who needs suspenseful dramas when you've got meal prep excitement?So there you have it, folks. Friends Of The Chef's weight loss meal prep program is the real deal – a journey of flavors, weight loss surprises, and an abuela-approved trip down memory lane. If you're into losing weight while feeling like you're being serenaded by a taste symphony that's straight out of your childhood dreams, this is the meal plan for you. Just remember, this isn't just a meal plan; it's a culinary carnival for your taste buds and a scale shrinker in disguise.”

Lido Restaurant 701 Main St, Hackensack Pizza • $$
701 Main St, Hackensack

“I am originally from an Island with a pizzeria on every other corner. Most of it was pretty good, with some outstanding options. I moved to NJ in 2016 and have struggled to find pizza that doesn't have a diaper-crust and/or terrible cheese/sauce . I tried Lido on a whim and probably won't be ordering from anywhere else. The sauce/cheese is excellent quality and the crust is thin/crispy. Absolutely perfect and highly recommended. They have tons of gluten free options, I am unsure if the gf pizza is made in a separate prep area. Would love to know.”
